Jon an extremely attractive and handsome youth, had the cliche of getting run over by a truck. What is even more cliched is that he didn't die completely and crossed over to a medieval world of magic.
Jon was in a spectral form standing in front of his look alike, his clothes where a mess and he seems to be in a coma with a silly smile on his face. 'Hmm... Don't tell me this is the person that I am about to possess? He looks exactly like me, could he be the other me in this world?'.
Suddenly he started recalling some foreign memories. 'huh! is this his memories? this man has the same name as I have. Jonathan Dayne, and is called Jon by people close to him. He was the son of lord Dayne, a lord from a small remote area. After the death of his parents he was adopted by his maternal uncle, who was a government official. During a spring he met a beautiful lady named Cersei. Due to his love for her, he dropped everything and recklessly followed her to the Black Phoenix Guild, thousands of miles away from home. And got married to her, from then on he has been intoxicated by nightly debauchery with Cersei every single day. As time went on Jonathan started to weaken and lose weight, but just as before he was eager to fulfill Cersei's every request and was always at her beck and call. Finally one day he went to sleep and never woke up.'
"Isn't it obviously a honeypot trap, that vixen is obviously a practitioner of dark magic and is draining his life force." Jon rebuked this world Jonathan's foolishness.
As a matter of fact Cersei was using succubus magic ritual to absorb the life force of Jonathan to strengthen her own mana cultivation.
~CREAK~
Suddenly Cersei and her maid entered the room, Cersei was a strikingly beautiful woman, with golden hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin, a slender graceful figure and appears to be in her mid twenties.
The maid appears to be a bit childish, she may be in her late teens. She was shorter than Cersei, had black hair and wore a maids outfit. Her name was Alice, Cersei's handmaiden.
"My lady there has been no chages to young masters condition, he might be breathing his last breath now." Alice informed Cersei with an odd sense of satisfaction. "But my lady certainly drew the short end of the stick with this one; even though he is handsome, this man is really dull and unsophisticated, totally unworthy of my lady." Alice explained her disdain for Jonathan in a childish tone.
Cersei sat down near Jonathan on the bed "Alice, you don't understand. He has a rare blessing of mana. If he ever starts learn magic, his advancement into an initial stage mage would have been inevitable. If he wasn't raised in such a remote place, he would have been recruited by any of the other great guilds and would be studying magic under a great mage. Now that I have used a secret succubus art of duel cultivation to drain his life-force, once I have extracted all his life-force until he dies and his soul is extinguished, I will be able to take control of his blessing of mana, thus truly completing my plan" Cersei explained her plan for marrying Jonathan, tracing her finger along Jonathan's jawline.
"If he is still alive, then it shows that I haven't entirely siezed his blessing and I'll have to make love to him a few more times. If he is dead then I will dispose of his body with funeral rites, that's the least I owe my dear husband." Cersei clarifies, leaning over Jonathan's comatose body.
Jon was panicking 'what the hell? what gives? come on give me a break, how am I supposed to survive this situation?'
Suddenly the spectral form of Jon was pulled into the comatose body of Jonathan Dayne of this world. Jon was already in a full on panic mode, so he springs up suddenly with eyes wide open in suprise, in the newly acquired body of Jonathan and comes face to face with a startled Cersei, she had her hands on Jon's chest and their faces where only inches apart.
startled Cersei grab Jon's throat with one hand and narrows her eyes. 'Hopefully, she can't tell that I'm not the real Jonathan Dayne...erm...how did that Jon talk to her?' Jon went into full on acting mode recalling the memories of Jonathan's interactions with Cersei.
"Honey? what are you doing?" Jon asked after taking both her hands in the palm of his hands in a concerned and loving gesture, with a concerned expression on his face.
This sudden response both suprised and threw off any suspicion Cersei had.
Cersei schooled her expression into that of a concerned wife's and said "I heard from Alice that my dear was not feeling well, so I came here to have a look at you."
"Now that I know you are safe, I can set my mind at ease. The guild leader was calling for me. Please take a good rest for now." she said in a relieved voice. Then she leaned forward close to his ear in a arousing manner and continued in a sultry voice "I will come back in the evening to keep you company."
"Ookay..." Jon replied in a dazed and non-coherent manner with a flushed face.
Cersei left the room after giving a peck on Jon's cheek.
"My lady... our conversation just now..." once out side the room, began Alice in a uncertain voice.
"Don't worry, he didn't hear anything" Cersei assured her in a calm manner.
"He has a weak character and is incredibly naive. He could never lie infront of me. since I still haven't entirely sized his blessing of mana, I will just sleep with him a couple more times." reassured Cersei without any concern.
---------------- break ----------------
Mean while with Jon. "Fortunately, my acting skills are superb. I managed to fool her for now."
'The memories have almost been completely been merged. But this guy is a bit of a useless loser indeed. He's been sleeping with her for so long but only acquired little useful information.' Jon sighed in disappointment.
After a bit of introspection he got the following information. This is a world where magic power is highly valued. Aside from normal humans some highly powerful mages exist who use mana to perform powerful magics, to freely fly in the sky, to perform combat moves and to perform other numerous skills. Mana is cultivated in a similar fashion to cultivation in wuxia novels. And store the cultivated mana in around the heart in the forms of stars.
The mana cultivation levels are divided into different stages:
Initial stage » celestial stage » arcane stage » etc.
every stage is further divided into nine, starting from one star in the beginning of every stage to nine star at the apex of every stage.
------------------- break -------------------
'Although I deceived the bitch for now. She will be back in the evening to drain my life-force again. I must hurry up and escape. I will die sooner or later if I continue to stay here.' Mused Jon trying to come up with an escape plan with his weak and aching body.
"isn't there any way to save my life? Doesn't everyone who crosses over in those novels have a special ability, a cheat, a system or something like that? where the heck are my cheats?" Jon fumed with a sense of impending doom.
